Looking for the next story to sink your teeth into? What about something gorgeous to add to your collection? Then you’ve come to the right place! If you were having trouble tackling the next adventure, then check out these three recommendations based on your current favorite series!
If you liked Spy Classroom, then you should read…
By You Chiba
Rita is Convict 999, a former legendary assassin who now works at a kindergarten for the children of world leaders. Her job is to protect the schoolchildren from the clutches of would-be assassins sent after them! But even with her overwhelming strength, Rita has a weakness—she’s head-over-heels for good-looking men!
Who doesn’t love a good spy story with a bit of humor thrown in? For our Spy Classroom lovers, we have another series that might just tickle your aspiring-criminal fancy! With plenty of guns, explosions, and heart-throbbing moments (be it from the action or the drop-dead gorgeous assassins who surround Rita), Kindergarten Wars is a series that is hard to say no to. While this time around the criminals are assassins and not spies, both series offer the same angle to teaching: As long as you don’t get caught by the scary principal, then all is good (or you could always blow up the entire building)!
If you liked Erased, then you should read…
By Kei Sanbe
Following their son Ao’s release from the hospital, Touya, Haru, and Ao were all ready to start a new life in their picturesque new home. But that was before the postcards arrived... Each postcard details an event—one that won’t happen until the next day. Follow this family on an adventure to unravel the mystery, stopping to help everyone they can along the way.
Kei Sanbe’s Erased is a series that was hard to put down when it first came out. Offering a masterful blend of drama and trauma moments, the series stood out for its engaging and suspenseful narrative that truly managed to pull readers along a mad chase across time and space. Now, years later, Sanbe returns to the mystery genre with another series that will bend the rules of time—albeit in a different manner. This time, a family takes the center stage, and the reader will have to follow along as a father will try his darn best to save his own skin and delve deeper into a mysterious trail of postcards. And while not as dark as Erased, The 13th Footprint is still a great pick for fans of suspense manga and time-travelling setups.
